Already with depth at forward and defence, the Maple Leafs beefed up their goaltending picture on Friday afternoon.

The Leafs acquired goalie Calvin Pickard from the Vegas Golden Knights, trading minor-league forward Tobias Lindberg and a sixth-round pick in the 2018 National Hockey League draft to Vegas.

The 25-year-old Pickard, who had a 15-31-2 record with a 2.98 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage for the Colorado Avalanche last season, has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
